You are going to do great! You will be ok. I went for a walk with my friend who had her sleeve done a week ago. She already looks great and went for a really long walk. My surgery is in 4 days so I understand what you are feeling. I have had a ton of nervous energy. Love and prayers to you!

I had my surgery on Nov. 19 and did not have any pain meds other than Tylenol because of my allergies to pain meds. I had incision tenderness but hardly any other pain. My doctor said I recovered the fastest he had seen patient recover and felt it might have been because of the lack of pain meds. So I know most people take meds but I couldn't and did great. Best of luck tomorrow. Just breath!

I am allergic to pain killers as well. This makes me feel better since I won't be taking any besides Tylenol :) thank you

I'm on day four. First day and second you'll need help but just keep walking around as soon as you can and sip sip sip. Quicker you get Water and Protein and get the air in you out you'll feel great! Day 4 and hardly any discomfort!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
